Thank-You Note

Six thank-you notes for six very different people: your grandma who knitted a scarf, a music teacher who wrote your reference, a seven-year-old cousin who drew your dog, a neighbour who cleared your path, a colleague, a stranger who handed in your lost backpack. Build each note line by line: a warm opening, one specific and true detail, and a sign-off that fits who they are to you.

How to play

Read the card. Who they are to you, what they gave or did, and what happened next.
Three lines. Pick the warm opening, the specific detail and the sign-off, one at a time.
Match the tone. Your grandma, your teacher and your best friend each need a different voice.
Score. 100 per line that's just right, 40 for a fine but flat one, +50 for a perfect note. Wrong details, money talk and backhanded thanks cost one of 3 hearts.

Quick tips

Use their name. A warm opening starts with the person, not with "To whom it may concern".
One true detail. Name the gift and what you did with it: the green scarf, sledging on Saturday.
